Characters whose numeric representation is above 127 and less than 256, are
not UTF-8 characters and the function 'writefln' expects 'char' values to
be UTF-8. So, to do what you want, you must either not use writefln or not
use 'char' types.

import std.stdio;
void main()
{

 for(ubyte c = 0; c < c.max; c++)
 {
     if (c <= 127) writef("'%s' ", cast(char)c);
     writefln(c);
 }
}
